Excellent championship prospects are the lot of the Tar Heels as they enter competition in the meet for the third consecutive -year. - Last season the Virginians themselves' snatched the honors from the Rowe proteges by winning 4 to 3. Early in the collegi ate season the Hillians had walloped the Cavaliers by a 5 to 2 count, so the local stars were doped to win the Conference laurels at the last meet.

The now famous Ad Warren, heavyweight champion of the Carolinas, was the other Heel winner in their second quest; for. Southern honors. Charlie Brown was ousted from the race in the semi-finals in this meet but his entrance into the squared circle this year bodes ill for any op ponent, for the fighting youngster will be battling the last time under Carolina colors.

We en dorse him as our choice for nomina tion sand election." Carol Holmes, member of the Phi Society, quoting the passage from the Scripps-Howard newspapers, sounded the keynote in the joint meeting of the Di and Phi Tuesday night when the societies favored Hoover by an overwhelming majority. ' At the first of the meeting there was a short discussion of the value of political machines to the University campus. Senator Bledsoe of the Di opened the argument with a firm speech in favor of the campus frame ups and common tactics for soliciting votes. Ralph Noe, Phi, pointed "out the ideal method of campus elections and proved that from their start the frame-ups were not working for the best interests of the student body. . Things Get Started At this point the discussion seemed to lack the proper fire and pep. A vote was called for and then another resolution which read: "Resolved, that the Di and Phi in joint session go on record as favoring the election of Herbert Hoover rather than Al OLYMPIC TRYOUTS FOR TWO STATES HERE NEXT TOR Wrestlers "of North and South , Carolina To Meet in Tin Can.

Carolina students will be treated to a lively grappling card when North and" South ' Carolina tryouts for the American Olympic wrestling team are held here next Friday and Saturday, March 9 and 10. The University has been selected by the American Olympic committee' as the base of operations, for the neck-twisters of North and South Carolina. Any amateur in these two states is eligible for competition, so some of the South's outstanding mat men are expected to .exhibit their wares in the meet beginning next Fri day. The rules governing the con tests will be in accordance with the American Athletic Union's policy. These rules are somewhat more mod erate than those governing the South ern Conference competition, ifi that the so-called "torture holds" ruled out of college matches are permitted to a certain degree. . . t. . The try-outs will draw contestants from the colleges of the Carolinas, independent Y. M. C. A. aggregations, and from unaffiliated individuals. The winners in the Carolina bracket will meet the winners of another bracket and proceed thusly unto the finals- the eventual finalists of course to repre sent the United States in the Olympic contests in Europe next summer. .

Immediately after the first reading of the resolution, Mr. Wilkinson of the Phi rose to his feet praising the work' of Mr. Hoover and showing the qualification of the Secretary of Com merce. The last words of the speak er were the most significant. "Hoover is a truly ideal politician and states man," concluded the representative of the Phi. No sooner had the man taken his seat than Senator Henry Brown, Di, vvas on the floor clamoring for an op portunity to introduce a man who was the outstanding politician of Tammany Hall. A man who was a representative of all classes was in troduced as Alfred E. Smith of New York. "We are looking for a man who will carry the standards of the Democratic Party and a man who will give the people of this country a fair deal. Alfred E. Smith is the logical man for the presidency and his election will mean an era of pros perity and social advancement," stat ed the speaker as he was being called for time. ) Mr. Mewburn, Phi, came to the. de fense of the "notorious wet."

" . Will Probably Be Used for Commerce School, It Is Reported. SOUTH OF MURPHEY HALL Design Now Taken to New York Consultant for Final Touches; Work Expected to Start in "Near Future." Plans for a new classroom build ing, to be used, it is expected, by the commerce department, were approved by the building committee here Wed nesday. The plans have' been carried to New York to the consulting archi tect, McKim, Mead and White by A. C. Nash of Atwood-Nash, architects who drew up the design. The building will be south of Mur phey Hall, and will have a position in relation to the language building much like that of the Steele dormi tory to Saunders Hall. It will be three stories in height, and not unlike Murphey and Saunders in outward appearance. The construction will be of brick and limestone, with the usual fire-resistant construction. . There will be but two stairways, effecting a con siderable saving in space. These stairs will be located in such a way that they proportionately divide the building at proportionate distances from the ends and center. On the first floor will be four rooms each 30 1-3 by 20 feet, and one 37 by 38 feet: On this floor will be sem inar rooms and the dean's offices. The second floor will have one room 30 1-2 by 48 feet. The third floor will have much the same layout. The total length will be about 140 feet, and the width around 52 feet. At the rear will be a wing, something like that of the Murphey building, which will be 20 by 41 feet. The building committee is anxious to get the work started on this struc ture as soon as feasible. No action was taken by it on the new library, since the bids were not in at that time. HI CHAMPIONSHIP SETTLEDTONIGHT Charlotte and Wilmington Clash In Tin Can for Basketball Laurels. The title of state champion in high school basketball will be determined here tonight in the Tin Can when Charlotte meets Wilmington in the last game of a long race for state honors. Both schools have a good record so far. Charlotte has won every game this year, as far as known here, while Wilmington has lost only one. In 1920 these same two schools met here in the finals of the race and Wil-. mington was acclaimed winner after the hardest high school game seen on a local court. That was before the days of the well-known Tin Can, the Bynum gymnasium affording the setting for such contests. Playing ; then were .Moore, John Purser, and Abe Neiman for Charlotte, and on the Wilmington outfit were Green and Shepherd among others. Of these, Purser, Neiman, and Green all made names for themselves later as mem bers of Carolina Southern champion ship teams. The other mentioned players have distinguished themselves on other courts. From that year till this, these two teams have not met in a championship tilt, and probably not in any game at all. Wilmington has already one state title to its credit this year since that school pushed out Greensboro to win the football cup in the fall. Char lotte has not had a state cup from the Extension Division in several years now. The New Hanover Wildcats won the eastern title by defeating Ellerbe, a most surprising "dark horse," in Ra leigh a few days ago, with the score of 25-16. Previously they overcame, in the elimination series, Fremont, Richlands, South Port and Beulaville. Charlotte comes here by right of a 46-28 win over Candor to represent the west. Preceding wins ended thus: Asheville, 25-17; Mt. Ulla, 29-18; Bes semer, 34-21; Pineville, 46-22; Lin colnton, 56-21. Both teams arrived in town yes terday evening, and have worked out on the floor of the Tin Can to get (Cjatinued on page four)
